of Brigadier General Harrison, who possesses the
entire confidence of his fellow soldiers, among

In Mr. Madison’s message of December 1313,the

The Richmond Enquirer said :

He does j rsficc to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore do justice to the man who
was too modest to be just to himself.”

John M. Niles, late Van Buren candid ate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his lite of Perry published in
1821, alter giving a general biography of Gen Har
rison, said ;
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, and the .subsequent
capture of the British army,may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events ol the
late war.” .
In alluding to the battle of the lharaes, he said :
“It must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, and upon the
troops by whom it was achieved.
»«The action, and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidity of Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actislics ; the disasters altemling it having, in no in
stance* been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps On record few instances of
such cool ami steady intrepedity, on the part of
militia, or a force of this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Ariel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October Here they
were received with every demonstration ot joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”
An Eloquent Record.
William Henry liarrison was bom in Virginia on
the 9ih of February, 1773.
In 1791* when 19 years of age, he was appointed
by Washington an Ensign in our infant army.
in 1792, he was promoted to the rank of Lieu
tenant: and in 1793, joined the legion under Gen.
Wayne, and in a lew days thereafter, was selected
by him as one of his Aida.
On the 24th of August, 1794, ho distinguished
himself in the battle ot the Miami and elicited the
most flattering written approbation of Gen W ayne.
In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed
in command of Fort Washington.
In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams,
Secretary of the North-western Territory and ex
officio Lt. Governor.
“ In 1798, he w as chosen a delegate to Congress.
In 1801, lie was appointed Governor of Indiana,
and in the same year, President Jefferson appointed

ana by Madison.

by the brilliant and successful sortie of Ges. Har
rison.
On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste
phenson occurred.
On the sth October, 1813, ho gained the splendid
victory ol the THAMES, over the British and In
dians under Proctor.
In 1814, he was ajppointed by Madison one of
the Commissioners to reat with the Indians, and
in the same year, with his colleague* Gov. Shelby
and Gen. Cass, concluded the celetnated treaty of

negotiated a treaty at Detroit.
In 181 G, he was elected a member of Congress.

Senate

and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of the Mili

and, in 1829, wrote his immortal letter to Bolivar

Os him Col. Johnson (Vico President) thus spoke
in the House ot Representatives whilst a member
ot that body :
“Os the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not
speak—the history of the west is his history For
forty years he has been identified with its interests,
its perils, and ns hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks of peace, and distinguished by his ability
lin the councils of his country,he has been yet more
| illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
late war, he was linger in actual service than any
oilier General Officer; lie was, perhaps, oltner in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
Such is the man, who, still enjoying his untar
nished lame and glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy
can assail him, is now summoned ny his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of the nation, “and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
